I agree.. its highly unlikely.... when he said he was getting everything correctly in verbal.. was it because it was getting easier and easier when he was making more and more mistakes.. i doubt!

Wow!! thats a detailed observation!!! I am not too sure what to say as I too am part of “Concentrate First 25-Guess Rest” but in my case i guessed the last 6-7 questions...due to lack of time! In my case atleast....i felt that if i did get the first set right....i had high scores..but then i never had similar wrong for diff tests....so my logic wud not work!

Set test?? I am not sure whether I have ever heard abt it. What is VIP? :hmm:

Thanks all. Feel free to ask any question u guys want, before its too late and I forget whatver i did!! Also if anyone needs softcopies of anything ...do let me know and if i have it, I will mail it to u.

I am not sure whether i am the right person to advice everyone...but let me tell my experience in 2001 ...i wrote GRE.... i overdid the studying part.... went thru a lot of books..... got 1880..i was devastated... i got into a MS program and finally graduated. this time with GMAT...i didnt want to repeat the debacle....so i concentrated on OG 11th edition.... did it almost 2 times took 3 GMATprep tests and made sure i understood each and every mistake...went thru the exercises in the CD too... took 2 kaplan tests..lost my confidence...realized i was repeating the same mistake of concentrating on too many things i went back to my OG study....... did a few questions on this forum... etc i also went thru the AWA writing on princeton did a full hearted study for 20 days...as i had a training in the week before my exam.... didnt study anything in the last 3 days... except maybe skim thru the notes i had made.... so practically went real refreshed....... wrote GMAT....got a 730 btw writing notes do help...i had prepared a 4 page note listing all the grammer rules and some 7-8 tough quant questions.... when i saw tough i mean permutation and combination...i hate that

Financial times and Wall street journal ---------------- sorry....didnt see the other replies posted!

well all the ones i mentioned are Male Indian IT and 2-3 years work exp here is what one of my friends wrote to me "My roommate (Indian IT male) got an admit to Indiana Kelly at par with Austin) with 650 GMAT... A friend of mine (Indian IT male) got into Wharton with 720 GMAT"

I have a friend who got 670 and got into McCombs. So relax...this is not a bad score. Verbal does screw ppl at times... its not us....its the time and maybe the luck....keep your cool... I had another friend who got full funding in Georgia tech with a 690. So bottom line...it is not as bad as u think it is

hey congrats!!!!

schools...havent decided yet.... univ of virginia...is surely one. I have only 11 months of work exp...so have decided to work for 2 years...and join a program in 2008.:grad:

bungholio, i took the GMATprep 3 times..... the original cd i got when i registered had 2...then i downloaded it again on my office PC...that was a diff set of questions.....just the AWA was same. I dont have the doc with me at home. I promise u i will post it on monday once i get to office. bungholio, here is the file. I am sorry, I dont remember which thread i got this doc from. So please bear with me for not acknowledging the author properly!

They were all SC and CR questions...i think 2 from each.... I dont remember exactly. The advantage u get when u see a question that u know is that (1) u know u got those right (2) U can save a lot of time which u can invest on the rest In addition to this there was one galaxy passage in my CR section, I had already read the same as a RC before in my GMATPrep test 2. Infact there was on asteroids that came as RC on the real test but as a CR on OG. I definitely felt that the quant section was tougher for the real test than i ever did. But then there are other factors also that mite have made me feel like it was more tougher..like pressure....tension...etc. The first five questions..... i really thought they were tough... no actually its more than that....the first 10 questions were real tough......the rest were all OG standard. Then again u have to remember that..its not the method that is tough. My inexperience mite be the factor that made me take almost 2-3 mins to just understand the question. I was real lucky in the fact that there was no permutation and C or Probability questions asked. Never get tense seeing a question that u initially think u dont know. I was confident that i wud take GMAT again and again until i get a good score. Therefore i never cared whether i thought a question was too tough...once u read it thoroughly...its easy to understand. U can approach GMAT in 2 ways... (1) read lots and lots of stuff (2) concentrate on some stuff...but learn that in depth. I barely studied for a month..so i cud afford only approach 2. There I am sorry i really dont know other good sources for math. Someone had posted a few questions in some thread called difficult questions. I have a softcopy...but i did get it as a word attachment from some thread...i am sorry i dont remember which That one is a pretty good compilation of tough questions. I didnt know how to do many of them. :( Verbal section is either at par or maybe easier than OG

Wow ...thats lot of information...... I have quoted what u have written above to a lot of friends.... its really interesting and important to know these things But then ...I sure am glad i didnt read this(natural ability part) before i took the test..... coz if i had..i surely wud have become tense and screwed it up.:hmm:

:D only thing is....sometimes when u dont have the latest ed of books you feel like u are not up to date..rather u are missing something... thats the reason why i always buy the latest ed of books...

for this to be an integer (2*3*5*13)/(k) K has to be either 2,3,5, 13...or a combination of these numbers obtained by mutiplying them with each other.... then u look into the choices.... u find that only 26 which is 2 * 13...can satisfy this condition therefore the ans
